Very impressive! I wish my knees and ankles were flexible enough to heel-toe.
 
Nice heel and toe dude!!! I can do that in a road car, but my DFGT hasn't got a clutch, so... lol...

Do you race IRL? Cos you seem pretty comfortable with it...

EDIT: Also, does the game automatically double clutch if you using the clutch and H shifter?

EDIT2: On second look I see you double clutch yourself... Do you need to do this with the H shifter or is it just a habit you have?

I do street race in real life, but i only have a auto at the moment,

The game doesn't double clutch, but u need to in order to avoid the game defaulting u to neutral because the game thinks your flat shifting, Flat shifting was removed in GT5P due to people complaining that G25 users had an advantage flat shifting in time trails. and i usually double clutch for fun
 
That is 1 of the most exciting laps in the 787B that I've ever seen :crazy: 👍
Also respect for the heel-toe action and double-clutching :)
 
That's not double-clutching...I don't know what you're doing and it certainly isn't the proper technique in any race car when upshifting. Double clutching implies that you are punching the clutch pedal twice during each shift...but you are just pushing it in once for the entire sequence, and you're hitting the gas between upshifts which is the exact opposite thing you should be doing. In short, you got it all backwards.

For upshifting the order is...
clutch in / off throttle
shift to neutral
clutch out
(no action -- just wait for revs to drop to proper rpm)
clutch in
shift to higher gear
clutch out / on throttle
**** but most race cars don't require double clutching for upshifts because the revs drop fast enough on their own.

For downshifting the order is...
clutch in / off throttle
shift to neutral
clutch out
blip throttle
clutch in
shift to lower gear
clutch out / ready for throttle

Watch this video...

I understand that lol, after watching it, the up shifts i messed up, i miss interpenetrated my friends instructions on how to DC, i was mostly just trying to go for the sound of double clutching more then anything, but 2 things though
1. double clutching in the 787b would be pointless, i would mess the tranny up after a while.
2 i believe i nailed the heel toe downshifting correct, again all for the video, and i did not want to smack the camera with my knee and have to start over again u know? lol.
anyways thanks for the crizisism.
 
Yes, very good technique on the heal-toe downshifting. DCing is definitely not required for upshifting in the 787b (or any modern race car) but it wouldn't surprise me if drivers DCed the downshifts to keep wear and tear down on the transmission synchros during a 24 hour race.

This is probably the best video you'll get of the car. I can't quite tell if he's DCing those downshifts though. Might be very quick.
